🍷 Jesus' Approach to Solving Problems

a quality life one of the things that
you must do is you must be able to solve
problems your ability to solve problems
is gonna determine whether you enjoy
your life or not because in life from
the time you wake up to the time you
sleep you are going to be confronted
with problems for example when you woke
up this morning there are some women who
had to wear about four clothes your
problem was which one do I work they
were about four to try on they put on
the splendor mirrors ahead on this one
look so even clothes what to wear and
come to church it's a problem that you
must solve color combinations whatever
combination so much that when my wife is
going out I have a problem my problem is
I have to look at everything that she's
wearing it's just nice that this match
that this whatever and I tell her I am
your beautician
for you to be here you have to have you
have to wake up le it's a problem if you
don't have money you have to get some
form of transport and come it's a
problem by afternoon your stomach will
be asking you questions whatever gonna

will go a long way in determining that
kind of life that you have and life is
full of problems enjoy to the 14 verse 1
job said man that is born of a woman is
of few days and full of trouble or
problems verse 2 says he cometh forth
like a flower and is cut down he flee it
like a shadow and continue it not so
says as soon as you are born you face
problems from the time you wake up to
the time you sleep you'll be solving
problems till you go back to bed and
there's some people even Envy asleep
they have problems they have dreams
where wild dogs are chasing them there
is also a problem in some tree verse
when David said Lord how are they
increased that trouble me many are they
the rise up against me sometimes you can
have a series of problems you have a
marital problem then elect electricity
company has come they have disconnected
your power then you have a flat tire
then you receive a call from your
child's teacher that you come to school
is misbehaving it's just so Debbie said
many a day that rise up against me many
a day we say of my soul there is no help
for him in his God the three C's but
because was he but
ow ago ah shield for me my glory and the
lifter up of my head
may God be a shield around you may God
defend you from all types of problems
[Applause]
saw issues and the interesting thing
about problems is that there are some
problems they are unsolicited which
means you didn't ask for it the problem
came by itself I remember years ago one
day I was fasting and praying I must
have been about twenty years old I was
walking on the road I passed by a
stranger as soon as I passed by dusting
that he gave me a double slot for no
reason an unsolicited slap hadn't done
anything I didn't know him I didn't ask
him anything but I received a slot so
sometimes there's a saying that says
problems don't like people but people
like problems it's not true something I
haven't done anything but the problem
likes you had a friend like that su
president one day he went for a night he
was asleep my friend and whilst he was
sleeping something happened some people
went to rip somebody so they came around
his area and they picked some people up
and they took them for the parade he
paraded them before the people who were
ripped and one of the girls identified
him as one of the rapist
yes as serious scripture union president
he went to jail for three years because
that girl swore that he was one of the
people know why hidden he knew nothing
about it
he was just asleep so sometimes problems
can even come looking for you
and second questions one a Paul said I
would not have you to be ignorant of the
trouble which came to us we didn't go to
it he came to us we were pressed out of
measure above strength in so much that
we despaired even of life is that this
trouble we didn't go for it
it came hunting for us we had the
sentence of death in ourselves that we
should not trust in ourselves but in God
who raises the dead who delivered us
from such a death and that deliver and
he were yet deliver may God deliver you
from every problem but there are some
problems they are solicited which means
we ask for them you are the one who is
one day I met a man who was going
through a lot of problems you know he
was married
we are going to take another girlfriend
the wife was angry so meetings were
happy and asked him a question
I said there are many problems in this
world why you manufacture more it makes
it worse
look at you neighbor said my neighbor
don't manufacture problems for yourself
already problems such is in us that's
why I don't drink that's why I don't
smoke I don't want to create more health
problems to the mosquitoes who already
chasing me already I'm on data today I
won't talk about how Jesus solve
problems so the question is when are you
faced problems how do we solve these
problems Jesus was a man and was was on
the earth he faced many problems all
kinds of problems social problems
economic problems physical problems
spiritual problems how did he solve his
problems joint of the two the first
scripture I wanna read it says death
that day there was a marriage in Cana of
Galilee and the mother of Jesus was
there both Jesus was called in the
disciples to the marriage and when they
wanted wine his mother said unto him
they have no wine Wow he said woman what
am I to do with thee my hour is not yet
come verse 5 his mother said unto the
sevens whatsoever he says to you Joey
unsolicited problem and man has gone for
a wedding in peace he gets to the
wedding he stole that all the drinks are
finished and suddenly he has to bear the
cost of the drinks interesting sometimes
when people are planning for nose the
eye eye is on someone so they'll be
giving ideas Oh
after the funeral let's have a lunch ask
if I should look like bringing ideas but
these same people will not bring any
money to support the ideas so here was
Jesus a man wasn't planned for me any
wedding or whatever here he was now he's
confronted with a huge bill he is
supposed to provide drinks for a
marriage that he himself is what even
the bridegroom people can give back and
make you responsible for the baby
you are not the one who made the baby
but the I give him back and they have
somebody in mind so they what verse six
I continue now that was said there six
waterpots of stones according to the
manner of the theory frying of the Jews
which means a user would use this water
to wash their hands their feet and
adapting their feet before they prayed
containing two or three firkins apiece
affecting was about nine gallons so
three is twenty-seven Gallo
Wow twenty-seven times six as well
162 gallops a bottle of cook I think it
is point three three Wow and a gallon is
4.5 liters so how many bottles of cook
do we have in a gallon who can
calculator for me thirteen point six we
have thirteen or less roughly 14 bottles
of coke in one gallon so 14 times 126 is
how many bottles of coke what
2268 this is the cannot drink that Jesus
had to provide two thousand two hundred
and sixty eight bottles of coke Emmaus
serious financial problem something he
never planned for something he never
asked for something he never thought of
but they it was their problem was
looking for him
other people's wedding has become his
problem
well hurry is over she said to the
servants fill the waterpots with water
they filled them up to the brim then he
said draw out now and bare unto the
governor of the feast or the emcee and
the board so and when the ruler of the
feast had tasted the water which was
made wine and knew not when it was but
the sevens knew he called the by groom
and said unto him in verse 10
everyone at the beginning does set forth
good wine and it's true every party if
you don't go at the beginning you may
miss the good things chicken has
finished phases finish brief is finished
everything is finished all you see is
just pieces of oh and what you call
it both again some miserable salon if
there is soup that one there will be
light in his eyes which means they are
eating all the meat is just love with
one bone but they said this part is
different
thou hast kept the good wine until now
put your hands together for Jesus Wow
they said you've maintained the quality
of the party
miss Levine says this beginning of
miracles the Jesus in Cana of Galilee
and manifested forth his glory and his
disciples believed Wow how'd the Jesus
solve this problem number one how did
Jesus a problem to solve problems you
must do all that is in your personal
capacity and power to solve it you must
do all that is in your personal capacity
and power the solution to this problem
did not start with a supernatural
solution it started with human effort he
did that was in his power physically to
solve the problem when he looked round
he said do you have pots here
he said we have ports he said how many
are they this has six is a bring the
pots the broader when you brought the
pots the next thing was to make a drink
you need water we may not have the sugar
we will not have the flavors but the
water is available in the house so Jesus
said well get the seventh to fetch and
carry the water they were using Wells
can you imagine
2268 bottles of coke you are fetching
from a well to fill a water port it must
have taken more than an hour so dead
where people were throwing and what a
body the rope that they use they used to
throw into the world then they have to
draw
then the women will come with yup big
pots then do a point and carry to the
place and point de started working
intensively on this problem they used
your minds they use your strengths
the usage our emotions they use
everything that they had they brought it
against the problem Illidan stirred with
the miracle
it started with intense human effort
every resource that they had they
brought it to bear on the problem they
say what is here the supports that is
enough when they finished somewhere
between when they were carrying the
water to the MC or the rule of the feast
somewhere between that's when the
miracle occurred now when most people
are solving problems reason when their
questions sometimes when they pray their
prayer becomes an ask an excuse not to
do anything but if you want to solve a
problem you do all that you can do in
your own capacity and strength till your
strength gets to its limit and when it
gets to is limit that is when God takes
over
[Applause]
many problems up to now remain unsolved
imagine Jesus I was expecting angels to
fetch this water angels to bring this
boat don't have been any miracle you
must do all you can do most of the time
people look at what they cannot do and
because there is an element within the
problem that they cannot do they say
because I can do this
they make no effort when I bought my
first house I was 20-something years old
I was reading a scripture verse 24 verse
reads his true wisdom is a healthy
healed and when I read that scripture
also stood in it really hit my heart and
I realized that it is not through a
salary that the house is built but
through wisdom because I didn't have any
saliva because I was the student but
when I realized that wisdom can build
houses without a job or salary then I
said it means I qualified to build a
house so he stimulated me but my problem
was how do I build a house the first
thing that came to my mind was I needed
to buy land when I asked the price of
land it was so huge he put up giving me
run his toe back there and there it was
enough to stop me in my tracks but the
Holy Spirit said to me do all you can do
do all you can do with ear-contact
within your circumstances do all you can
do so I asked myself what
I do then I realized I could afford to
buy a switch you know a switch a light
switch so I bought it when I bought it I
came home I put it by my bedside
my big brother came he saw what is this
I said the house I started put your
hands together for ya I can do oh I can
do within myself there was something I
could do at least I was making an effort
to solve my problem so little by little
I just did all I could do
what was surprising that things kept on
multiplying multiplying my wife also
joined the teens kept on multiplying I
took my wife you're on a project we are
building a house she came to join me at
that time my father-in-law was a Vice
Chancellor Troy - I asked him for his
garage so I set up putting my things in
his garage surprise did my things were
becoming a lot so one day my
mother-in-law asked me a question that
all these things do you have land I said
me I don't have learn I said that one is
gross responsibility I'm doing my part I
can afford then she said to me look
you've done very well so I'll give you
land as a gift my mother's voice here
thank you mommy for the land and my
father-in-law they gave me the land as a
good ah the miracle has started I
remember when I put the roof
my mother-in-law brought a friend of
hers to the site he was a contractor
when he bought down it's my boy like you
is building a house like this say you've
done well they're all the root of
the guy was sweet friend my water was
telling in - what
why put your hands together for teasing
how to solve problem so even the Son of
God himself to solve his problems he had
boots on the ground if you want to get
married
simple the iron men in this church
listening to me on the internet every
way they can't get married why because
when they think about the problem of
marriage
Jack Lang goes to a BMW me I don't know
anything if you're manic you mean a very
comfortable car a BMW fine

what you are thinking about me I need to
build a house be house then I set it
down in my wife is here that you're
gonna hear me why you gotta for the
house so what do you do when I was gonna
get married I used the same strategy
same strategy no change I asked myself

there's something I can afford I can
afford an engagement ring so there was a
guy in my university hollow residential

be the same residential block he was
called us and he was into metals gold so
I told him as a bus I want to make a
ring engagement ring
he said to me I will charge this amount
of money I say on my favorite juices so
he just it you see I clear for the
reception but as firing I can afford so
my mind wasn't it so I made my ring
I said look let me do what I can do so I
did what I could do and I kept on doing
what I could do till finally we were
able to have a real wedding so some of
you you are not married because we are
not doing what you can do yesterday
yeah no no I don't even have a beloved
oh so I have to wait listen
you mean know how they beloved but least
you can have the ring but I don't know
hair size it doesn't matter
rings you can increase them you can
decrease them
it doesn't matter stop thinking like
that put it on secure devices stop
thinking like that that's why I'm not
solving a problem so many people are
stuck

do but Jesus did not start with what he
could not do he started it what
